KITCHEN-CABINET,

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 777,438, dated December13, 1904.

Application filed November 7, 1908. Serial No. 180,260. (No model.)

To It whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENEDICT J. SoIILAN- ZER, Sn, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion andState of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Kitchen-Cabinet, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to kitchencabinets, and moreparticularly to the improved manner of suspending the bins beneath thetable, the object of the invention being to provide an improved form ofsuspending means which shall be exceedingly cheap and simple and whichwill permit the bins to be pulled a considerable distance outwardlybefore being tilted, thereby permitting easier access to the said bins;and with these objects in view the invention consists, essentially, inthe employment of curved hangers connected to the sides of the bins andengaging pins or studs attached to the timbers of the table, saidhangers being so curved at their ends as to constitute stops to limitthe inward and outward movements of the bins.

The invention consists also in certain details of constructionhereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming part of this specitication, Figure l is aperspective view of a kitchen-cabinet constructed in accordance with myinvention, one of the bins being open and the other closed. Fig. 9. is atransverse sectional view showing the position of the parts when the binis closed. Fig. 3 is a simi lar view showing the position of the partswhen the bin is open. Fig. 4: is a sectional View on the line 4 4; ofFig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view oi the pin or stud. Fig. 6is a detail perspective view showing 40 the hanger upon the end of thebin. Fig. 7 is a slightly -modiiied construction of the hanger.

In carrying out my invention I employ any desired pattern of table A,supported upon legs A and provided with outwardly-sliding drawers B, andbeneath the said drawers are arranged the bins O, preferably constructedwith curved bottoms, so that the entire contents of the bin can beremoved when desired.

These bins are suspended beneath the drawers by means of hangers I),fastened to the outer sides of the ends of the bins, said hangersengaging the pins or studs E, attached to or carried by the timbers ot'the table, as most clearly shown in Figs. I and 5. The hangers D are inthe form of a curved plate or track, and the pin or stud engages theconcavcd lower side of the same, and at each end the said plate or trackis bent downwardly and inwardly, as shown at l), thereby limiting theinward and outward movements of the bin.

In Fig. 7 1 have shown the hanger formed of angle-iron and comprisingthe vertical member D and horizontal member D the vertical memberserving for attachment to the end of the bin, while the horizontalmember has the hanger proper.

In operation the bin is pulled outwardly in a horizontal line until theinner end of the hanger engages the pin or stud, and the bin is thenpermitted to drop downwardly, as shown in Fig. 3, the rear portion ofthe bin being rounded or curved, as shown at O, in order to permit suchmovement of the bin, as it is obvious that if the bin were not cut awayor rounded the rear edge would engage the bottom of the drawer. \Vhen itis desired to close the drawer, the pin is first turned to a horizontalposition and then pushed inwardly, and it will be noted that when thepin is in engagement with the forward end of the hanger the front of thebin is held close against the front portion of the table, as mostclearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. It will thus be seen that I provide anexceedingly cheap and eilicicnt means for suspending the bin beneath thetable and one by means of which the bin can be more quickly and easilyopened than bins now in general use.

Having thus fully described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. The combination with a tablehavinga top and supporting-frame, of bins arranged beneath the tophaving hangers attached to each side thereof, pins carried by the frameand engaging said hangers to support the bins, the ends of said hangersbeing bent downwardly and inwardly toward each other forming recesses toengage the pins and limit the inward and outward movement of the bin,said hang' ers being curved throughout their length with the concaveside downward, the rear end of said bin being cut away, whereby at theoutward limit of its movement, the bin is allowed to tilt forward.

2. The combination with a table embodying a supporting-frame havingportions adapted to engage the upper side of a bin, of a bin arrangedwithin said frame, a hanger carried by each side of said bin, each ofsaid hangers having a downturned rear end and having the under surfaceat its forward end downwardly inclined with relation to the top of thebin, and projections carried by the supporting-frame and projectingbeneath said hangers to support the bin thereby, for the purpose setforth.

3. The combination with a table embodying a supporting-frame havingportions adapted to engage the upper side of a bin, of a bin arrangedwithin said frame, a hanger attached to each side of saidbin, each ofsaid hangers having its under surface curved with an intermediateportion nearer the top of the bin than the end portions and having adownturned rear end, and a pair of pins carried by the table andprojecting beneath said hangers to support the bin, for the purpose setforth.

4,. The combination with a table embodying a supporting-frame havingportions adapted to engage the upper side of the bin, of a bin arrangedwithin said frame, a hanger attached to each side of said bin, each ofsaid hangers having its under surface curved with an intermediateportion nearer the top of the bin than the end portions, and projectionscarried by the table and projecting beneath said hangers to support thebin, said parts embodying means whereby the travel of the bin issuitably limited.
